INSURANCE VERIFICATION

We’ll verify eligibility, benefits, and GSAC’s participation with your plan.

LINK

PRIOR AUTHORIZATION

We’ll identify required authorizations and supporting documentation.

REFERRALS & DOCUMENTATION

We’ll explain plan-required referrals, evaluations or prescriptions.

  • Coverage must be confirmed with both your insurance provider and GSAC before insurance-funded services can begin.

PRIVATE PAY

Private-pay options are available for families who are not using insurance or whose services are not covered by their plan.

Participation with an insurance plan does not guarantee coverage or payment. Eligibility, benefits, authorization requirements, covered services, and family financial responsibility vary by individual plan.
